Hello all my networking geniuses!

i have some questions.

At work i have set up a raid 1 system for the location of some employee's documents folders, as they claim things go missing randomly.

I have windows server 2003 standard on this system. with a 9g SCSI drive as the main drive qand 2 x 80g SATA drivers as the raid 1. (more drives will be added later)

i am going to be having 3 departments using this system for their documents.

A
B
C

I am working with group A right now.

I have a folder on the raid drive labled A , with in that folder are various sub folders

A

  • 1
    2
    3
    4
    5

I have shared drive A so it can be seen over the network \\storage\A , but only accessed by group A (i added a user / pass into the windows system with the same as the computer access this storage system) I dont want group B getting into group A's folder.

Now, the issue i am having, i dont want people to save files, create folders in the A main root, i want people to only be able to create files / folders with in the sub folders (1-5)

I have messed with the security options, and the sharing options, but for the life of me i can not get it to work - you either can, or can not create files / folder in all dir, the root of A and all sub (1-5) folders.

Could someone perhaps guide me in the right direction on how i can go about doing this?

Sorry if i made it sound confusing as i am sure i did.
 
Disable write access by that user to the main folder and do NOT inherit permissions?

This part here sounds like you're running it in workgroup mode, that either the 2K3 server is not running as a DC with AD, and/or the workstations are setup with local logins/peer to peer workgroup mode.

But yes...just uncheck inherit permissions.
 
ohhhhh i think that worked :) so far so good :)

life saviour u are - so far.

That is correct, for the amount of people involved i did not think a DC or AD was neccesary, however if this system grows, which i am thinking it will, i do plan to put in an AD and DC since our support team is growing nicely, limited to 2 PC's right now, but could be more soon.
 
Question - can you integrate ISA server with an AD/ DC ? such that if X user logs in to a terminal, they wont be limited to what web access they have, but if user Y logs in, it will limit them ?
